A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 74
In "Inside Evil: Jeffrey Dahmer," Dateline NBC anchor Stone Phillips confronts Dahmer on-camera, in a prison interview about the victims he killed and cannibalized -- and the urges that drove him. In a rare interview with Dahmer's father, Phillips examines events in Dahmer's childhood that could have pushed him to murder. It's a compelling portrait of a killer and the demons deep down inside him. In "Inside Evil: Son Of Sam," NBC News investigates the infamous serial murder case that terrorized New York City in 1977: did killer David Berkowitz have help in his crime spree, and could other murderers still be at large? Here, in rare video, "Son of Sam" speaks for himself on camera - and makes startling charges about who may really be behind some the crimes.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
